How it feels

A contemplative, story-driven visual novel where the player advances through branching text and observes philosophical musings on time and fate without gameplay interaction beyond clicking forward.

What players say

Players note the game is a very short visual novel with no choices, lasting under two hours. Many praise the cheap price but criticize the use of AI-generated and store-bought assets. Opinions split on the story: some find it confusing but fun, others call it poorly written and rushed.
